What? Let’s start at the end. Schooner Festival Weekend! This coming Saturday, September 5 there is a boat parade, A Parade of Lights! Parade starts at Jones Creek out the Cut Bridge into the Harbor and around the coves then Fireworks! Sounds amazing. Last Year’s parade was a tad thin. I think they need more boats. So I was thinking.
A six foot translucent Rubber Duck up on the Radar Arch of Blue Duck with a wicked bright LED bar inside. I have a blow up two man raft as a base, surf board under that, the LED bar and a 180 rubber ducks for the edging. But I need an idea for how to make the duck. A beach ball for the head, maybe some sticks here and there for support wrapped in a yellow sheet or something. I’ll have Thursday to Saturday at 7PM to construct. Anyone who spends time or comes up with the awesome solution like they have a big blow up Rubber Duck in their basement gets to ride in the parade. (Anything that blows up that light can go through that can be painted yellow might help.)
Wanna make a Homie the Seagull for RD to chase to stick on the bow? Make it and we’ll mount it!
Or if you want to add to the parade, throw some lights on your boat and read the info here!
Good Morning Gloucester 
Under $30 and 4′ tall. Might need a little paint for definition though.

Possibility. I’ve tried thinking of a home made design and everything comes out looking like a homeless rubber duck in yellow sheets.
We could put that store bought duck on the roof at the dock. Joey would love that.

Published 14/10/2014 | 10:31 1A giant rubber duck created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman goes on show in Seoul(AP) A giant yellow duck has docked in the South Korean capital Seoul, much to the surprise of onlookers. At 54 feet tall and weighing in at 300 kilograms, the duck is the creation of a Dutch installment artist, Florentijn Hofman, who hopes to spread a message of healing and peace to those who come to see it. And it seemed to be working.
Lee Yeon-kyung, a dancer who lives in Seoul, said she felt happy by just looking at the duck.”I heard that (Rubber Duck’s) exhibition is meant for healing. As I see this with my eyes, I feel happy because it is so cute,” she said.The giant installation has already done its fair share of kilometers since it spread its wings in 2007, having visited major cities such as Hong Kong, Sydney, and Pittsburgh in the US.
The duck will be on display for 32 days until November 14. Press Association
